The Chinese part of our family, Ric's mom and Dad, invited us to their house to celebrate Chinese New Year. Ric's brother Brandon, also lived with an American family for many years, until recently. Rachel, the blonde, is his American sister. My children, (two of whom speak Chinese) Nellie, Dominic, and Andy are Ric's American siblings. 
Brandon, Ric's Chinese brother, does not speak any Chinese. lol

The younger children played games while the older ones kept in touch with their world.
The real highlight of Chinese New Year, of course, is the food, much of which you will never see at a Chinese restaurant !

Ariel was pretty unhappy that she no longer maintains the 'child' label and wasn't invited to fill a bag with goodies, which include red envelopes filled with varying amounts of good old American dollars.
